handmade gift: homemade teabags

last year, i had a ton of fun making all sorts of homemade teabags for the holidays. i drink a LOT of tea--i grew up in a tea-based culture--and even though i lived in italy and had all sorts of delicious coffee drinks there, i'll always be a teagirl.

yesterday i made a gift for the guy i'm seeing. he loves mugs, so i bought him an awesome (and cheap) square blue glasbake one and a tea tin from an antique shop in chelsea where we had gone together to buy ornaments for his tree. then i loaded the tin with little teabags that i had filled with a blend of earl grey and lavender, which i am trying only now, and luckily it's good, because i gave it to him yesterday. perhaps the most thoughtful gift i've ever given, and i owe it to you. thanks.
